Contact Us TodayHamilton sits closer to the US border than almost any Canadian manufacturing city of its size, and the short haul through the Niagara crossings makes American retail a natural second market for its bakeries, confectioners, and meat processors — which is exactly where FDA and FSMA obligations begin. A Hamilton exporter needs FDA facility registration with a US agent, a food safety plan aligned to the Preventive Controls rule, US-compliant labelling, and the paperwork discipline to clear prior notice on every truck.
Every food shipment needs an electronic prior notice filed with FDA before arrival — for road freight, at least two hours ahead — identifying the product, manufacturer registration number, and shipper. Most Hamilton exporters delegate it to their customs broker, but errors trace back to you: mismatched registration numbers or product codes get trucks held at the bridge. We audit your broker's filings against your actual registrations.
Substantially: the Nutrition Facts format differs, serving sizes follow FDA's RACC tables, sesame is a mandatory allergen declaration under US law, and bilingual French text does not satisfy any US requirement. A compliant Canadian label is almost never a compliant US label. We run label reviews against 21 CFR 101 before your first shipment, because relabelling product sitting in a US warehouse is expensive.
Compliance with the U.S. FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) including Preventive Controls, Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA registration requirements.
4 to 12 weeks depending on facility scope and FSMA rules in scope.
